Chapter 38 Leniency for confession
Did Sonoko see me last night? It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked him for advice on what to do next, Sonoko wouldn't have found out.
She secretly groaned, no longer daring to look up at the garden.
Sonoko realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and she didn't want to expose them so soon, so she spoke up.
"Alright, alright, let's go. We'll just buy something to eat near the school later."
Ayako said she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be going out that day, telling the two of them to go to school first.
The two drove down the mountain to the school. Along the way, Sonoko ignored him. No matter what he said, she didn't reply. She just turned her head to look out the window.
Now he was genuinely confused, unsure of which part of the process had gone wrong.
Everything was fine last night, but when I woke up this morning, I was like a completely different person.
He couldn't help but sigh and think to himself: Women are like the autumn weather, they can change in an instant, giving you no time to react.
In front of Teitan School.
After getting off the bus, Sonoko left immediately. He glanced at his watch and realized he still had time, so he went to a nearby convenience store, bought some bread, and ate it as he walked.
By the time I got to the classroom door, I had just finished eating the bread.
I went back to my seat and started to sleep.
He loved sleeping during class; no one could resist that feeling.
While I was sleeping soundly, I felt a constant vibration coming from my left thigh.
He opened his blurry eyes, took out his phone from his pocket, and wondered who was calling.
Seeing that it was Gin calling, he promptly hung up and waited for him to send a text message.
This was an agreement between the two of them: if they hung up immediately after making a phone call, it meant it was inconvenient, and they would send a text message to discuss the specifics.
A text message arrived shortly after.
"Come to the base tonight, address *******."
Gin”
"learn!"
Has something happened to the organization again? There have been a lot of things going on lately. I finally got a break, and now it feels like I'm going to be busy again.
Gin usually doesn't seek out people; if he does, it's never a good thing.
It was lunchtime, and the classroom was empty. He casually lit a cigarette and texted Sonoko to ask where she was.
After the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Sonoko still hadn't replied, so she sent Ran a text message, but there was still no response for a long time.
In the restaurant.
Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi sat facing each other, talking about what had just happened.
"Are we really not going to tell him where we are?" Xiaolan asked cautiously.
"No need." Sonoko didn't even look up, continuing to eat her steak with great gusto, as if she were treating Su Xingbai as the steak itself.
"Should we bring him some when we go back? He's probably asleep again now, and he's probably still hungry."
"No need. He's already awake. If he's hungry, wouldn't he know to go buy some food himself?"
Xiaolan thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so she happily started eating.
The only heartbroken person is Su Xingbai, who wakes up and falls asleep again.
After the two finished eating, Sonoko, despite saying she wouldn't bring any food, still brought a portion of food with her.
Seeing Ran secretly laughing beside her, Sonoko stubbornly offered an explanation.
"I didn't bring this for him. I bought it because I was worried that we would be hungry this afternoon. Don't overthink it."
Xiaolan nodded in agreement. She wasn't the kind of person who would laugh at her friends. No, she wasn't.
After finishing their meal, the two went straight back to the classroom without lingering.
Just as Xiao Lan had predicted, Su Xingbo was still sleeping there, and it was unclear whether he had woken up or not.
Xiaolan tried to take the lunchbox from Yuanzi's hand. Seeing that Yuanzi did not resist, she took it directly and placed it next to Su Xingbai.
The sound wasn't loud, but it still woke him up before he was fully asleep. He looked up and saw Xiaolan smiling at him.
You know what, she really is like an angel.
It's that corner that makes it hard not to laugh. I forced myself to suppress the urge to laugh and asked.
Why didn't you invite me to eat with you?
Xiao Lan glanced at the garden, and seeing that she didn't speak, she had no choice but to speak herself.
"Sonoko said you worked too hard yesterday, so she let you rest a bit more at noon. Look, that's why I brought you a bento box."
Upon hearing this, Su Xingbai glanced speechlessly at Yuanzi. How could such a thing be said so casually? It was so inappropriate.
"Then I'll get started."
After he finished speaking, he opened his bento box and started eating, but the food tasted a little off.
It's all green, all the vegetables are green.
However, he is not picky about food and will eat vegetarian food without hesitation!
Began to eat!
The afternoon passed uneventfully, and the last class finally ended.
The three set off together. Since the road wasn't far, they first took Xiaolan home, and then returned to the villa with Yuanzi.
Back at the villa, Ayako wasn't there; the two lay side by side on the sofa.
If you don't speak, I won't speak either.
They stared at each other, their eyes widening, neither wanting to give in easily.
Finally, Sonoko couldn't take it anymore; her eyes were sore and she blinked hard a few times.
How can that bastard be so amazing? He didn't even blink for so long, and didn't he know to give way to her at all? How did I ever fall for him in the first place?
It's all my fault for being lustful and not seeing his true colors. Now I've been completely fooled.
It's just that Su Xingbo didn't know what she was thinking at that moment, otherwise he would have given her a few eye rolls.
They were mutually attracted and in love back then, which is why they got together. How can you say that now?
He got up and sat down next to Yuanzi, staring intently at her as he asked.
"You seem a little off today?"
"Oh? Something's not right?"
Something feels off. Did I go to bed too early last night?
"Heh." Sonoko chuckled coldly twice and continued, "Are you still playing dumb? What was that smell in the room yesterday? Or do you think I'm an idiot?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xingbo's expression lost its previous composure. Lingzi had only left not long ago, and he hadn't even had a chance to clear the air yet.
The smell in the house hadn't dissipated at all, and it was only when Sonoko arrived a few minutes after Ayako left that the problem was discovered.
The immediate problem is how to calm her down, otherwise she'll probably break down when Ayako comes back. He needs to resolve this matter in advance.
He helped Yuanzi sit up and said with a fawning smile, "Miss, this is all my fault for liking you too much and mistaking your sister for you. If you want to blame someone, blame me. This is all my fault. Please don't have any other thoughts about your sister."
"Your sister is also suffering a lot."
